Love's Redemption (Chris and Maddie) novel Chapter 1055

As Lisa finished speaking, Logan scooped her into his arms and headed out with long strides.

"What are you doing? Put me down!" she protested, embarrassed to be carried out like this.

But he didn't let go, so she buried her face in his chest. As they reached the door, the valet offered his congratulations.

"Thank you. I'll invite you to the wedding," Logan replied. His mood was unusually relaxed and cheerful tonight.

Lisa, infected by his joy, giggled in his arms. "Logan, I swear, your skin is getting thicker by the day."

"Oh really? How thick?" he teased.

"Let me measure," she said, pinching his cheeks and playfully tugging them from side to side. "Three inches? No, two feet… so thick!"

She was having fun, but Logan suddenly fell silent and stopped in his tracks.

Lisa noticed nothing unusual and said, "Why did you stop? Your stamina isn't great, huh? Maybe I should get you some tonics…"

"Your mom," he interrupted softly.

Perhaps she was too caught up in the moment, or his voice was too quiet, but she didn't catch it. "What did you say?"

"Martha, Baldwin…" Logan didn't explain but called out these names instead.

Lisa was sensitive to these words but thought he was just messing with her. She playfully smacked his arm. "Trying to scare me, huh?"

As she spoke, she twisted around to look—and then froze. Time seemed to stand still.
